Problem Statement

Context

AllLife Bank is a US bank that has a growing customer base. The majority of these customers are liability customers (depositors) with varying sizes of deposits. The number of customers who are also borrowers (asset customers) is quite small, and the bank is interested in expanding this base rapidly to bring in more loan business and in the process, earn more through the interest on loans. In particular, the management wants to explore ways of converting its liability customers to personal loan customers (while retaining them as depositors).

A campaign that the bank ran last year for liability customers showed a healthy conversion rate of over 9% success. This has encouraged the retail marketing department to devise campaigns with better target marketing to increase the success ratio.

You as a Data scientist at AllLife bank have to build a model that will help the marketing department to identify the potential customers who have a higher probability of purchasing the loan.

Objective

To predict whether a liability customer will buy personal loans, to understand which customer attributes are most significant in driving purchases, and identify which segment of customers to target more.

🔍 Key Data Quality Observations

✅ Strengths:

  • Clean dataset with 5,000 records and no missing values
  • No duplicate entries found
  • Appropriate mix of numerical and categorical features
  • Binary target variable suitable for classification

⚠️ Areas for Attention:

  • Class Imbalance: Only 9.6% positive cases (loan accepted) - will need balancing techniques
  • High Cardinality: ZIPCode has 467 unique values - consider dropping or grouping
  • Multicollinearity Risk: Experience and Age are highly correlated
  • Negative Experience: Some records show negative professional experience

🎯 Business Implications:

  • Small positive class suggests loan acceptance is rare - model needs to be sensitive to minority class
  • Geographic data (ZIP) may not add predictive value without proper grouping
  • Feature engineering opportunities exist to create more meaningful business segments
Observations
The dataset contains 5,000 rows and 14 columns, representing customer demographics and financial behavior.

No missing data or duplicate entries were found, which simplifies preprocessing.

Most variables are numerical or binary, and do not require extensive encoding (except Education and ZIPCode).

The target variable Personal_Loan is binary, suitable for classification models.

ZIPCode has many unique values (high cardinality), which may not be useful without grouping or dropping.

Experience is nearly identical to Age - X (perfectly correlated) — consider dropping it to avoid multicollinearity.

Observations — Univariate Analysis
Most numerical variables such as Income, CCAvg, and Mortgage show right-skewed distributions, indicating that most customers have low values with a few having very high values.

Categorical variables like Family, Education, CreditCard, and CD_Account exhibit imbalanced distributions — for example, most customers belong to smaller families or have no credit card.

The target variable Personal_Loan is skewed toward 0 (non-loan customers), highlighting a class imbalance problem.

plt.show()

<Figure size 1500x1500 with 0 Axes>
Observations for Bivariate Analysis
Income and CCAvg: Customers with higher income and higher average credit card spending are more likely to take personal loans.

Education: Loan acceptance increases with education level, especially among those with graduate or advanced degrees.

Age: Loan uptake is higher in the 30–40 age group, and decreases for older and very young customers.

CD_Account and Securities_Account: Customers with existing CD accounts are significantly more likely to accept a loan.
Observations — Outlier Detection
Outliers were detected in numeric variables like Income, CCAvg, and Mortgage, especially on the higher end.

These outliers may impact model performance by skewing the decision boundaries, especially in algorithms sensitive to scale like logistic regression or k-NN.

Depending on the modeling technique, consider capping, log-transforming, or removing extreme outliers for robustness.
Observations for EDA
The distribution of key numeric features such as Income, CCAvg, and Mortgage is right-skewed, indicating a concentration of customers at lower values with a few high-value outliers.

A large proportion of customers do not own a mortgage or a credit card, which may influence their loan approval likelihood.

The Personal_Loan target variable is imbalanced, with relatively fewer customers opting for a personal loan.

Features like Income, CCAvg, and CD_Account exhibit a strong relationship with loan purchase decisions.

Higher education levels and middle-aged customers (30–40 years) tend to show greater interest in personal loans, revealing potential customer segments.

Questions: What is the distribution of mortgage attribute? Are there any noticeable patterns or outliers in the distribution?

Observation: Most customers have a Mortgage of 0, indicating many don't have existing mortgages. However, there are some outliers with very high mortgage values, which could skew model performance if not handled properly.

Questions:

  1. How many customers have credit cards?

Observation: A significant portion of customers do not have credit cards. The ratio is important when considering cross-sell opportunities or risk profiling.

Questions: What are the attributes that have a strong correlation with the target attribute (personal loan)?

Observation: Attributes like Income, CCAvg, CD_Account, and Education show a positive correlation with Personal_Loan. These are key candidates for model features.

Questions: How does a customer's interest in purchasing a loan vary with their age?

Observation: Loan interest peaks around ages 30–40. Younger and much older customers are less likely to opt for personal loans.

Questions: How does a customer's interest in purchasing a loan vary with their education?

Observation: Customers with higher education levels (2 and 3) are more likely to purchase loans, possibly due to better income profiles or financial literacy.

Model Evaluation Criterion

To evaluate the performance of classification models, I use the following key metrics:

Accuracy: Measures the proportion of total correct predictions. Useful when the classes are balanced.

Precision: Indicates how many of the positively predicted cases were actually positive. Important in reducing false positives.

Recall: Reflects how many actual positive cases were correctly predicted. Crucial in minimizing false negatives.

F1 Score: Harmonic mean of precision and recall. It is a balanced measure especially useful when class distribution is imbalanced.

Given that the goal is to predict whether a customer will accept a personal loan offer (which may be an imbalanced target), F1 score and Recall will be especially important to consider alongside Accuracy.

Observation — Initial Decision Tree Model
The initial Decision Tree model provided a quick baseline for classification, with moderate accuracy and high interpretability.

However, it showed signs of overfitting — performing better on training data than on test data — due to the model growing too deep without constraints.

Key features like Income, CCAvg, and CD_Account were dominant in the tree structure, aligning with earlier EDA findings.

While the model captured some patterns well, it lacked generalization power, signaling the need for pruning or hyperparameter tuning (e.g., controlling max_depth, min_samples_split, and ccp_alpha).

Observation for Model Performance Improvement
Model performance improved significantly through hyperparameter tuning, especially for tree-based models like Decision Trees and Random Forests.

Features such as Income, CCAvg, and CD_Account contributed most strongly to improved classification accuracy.

Using class weights helped address target imbalance, boosting recall for the minority class (loan approvals).

Feature selection and encoding strategies (e.g., dropping Experience, one-hot encoding Education) streamlined the dataset and enhanced model generalization.

The final model shows a balanced trade-off between precision and recall, making it more suitable for real-world loan approval predictions.

🎯 Actionable Insights and Business Recommendations

Based on the analysis and predictive modeling, the following recommendations are suggested to support the bank’s marketing and customer targeting strategies:

  1. Target High-Income Segments

    Customers with higher income and higher average monthly credit card spending (CCAvg) show a greater likelihood of accepting personal loans.

    The bank should prioritize loan marketing to these customers, as they are more likely to convert and also pose lower credit risk.

  2. Focus on Educated Customers

    Education level is positively correlated with loan acceptance. Customers with graduate or advanced degrees are significantly more likely to accept loan offers.

    Consider designing custom loan products or messaging tailored to this educated segment.

  3. Leverage Cross-Selling Opportunities

    Ownership of a CD account is a strong predictor of loan uptake. Customers with CD or securities accounts may already have trust in the bank and can be cross-sold personal loans effectively.

    Integrate cross-promotions in banking dashboards or during CD maturity cycles.

  4. Optimize Marketing by Age Group

    Customers aged 30 to 40 years exhibit the highest likelihood of accepting personal loans.

    Age-specific campaigns should be developed targeting this group with offers tied to common financial goals (e.g., home renovation, family planning, etc.).

  5. Address Class Imbalance in Future Models

    The current dataset shows an imbalance with relatively few positive loan takers.

    To better understand loan behavior, the bank should consider collecting more positive case data or exploring resampling techniques in future analyses.

  6. De-emphasize ZIP Code

    ZIP code, although initially included, had high cardinality with low predictive value and may unnecessarily complicate modeling.

    It can be excluded unless linked to specific regional business rules.
